In this paper we investigate the effects of corporate ownership structure on dividend policy in the two different economic regimes: The People¡¯s Republic of China and The Republic of Korea. We compare the ownership structure and financial status of firms, build a model to compare the effects of different ownership structure and analyze the determinants of corporate cash dividend policy in China and Korea. As a result, we have found that the preferences for dividend of major shareholders of firms in both countries are quite different, that dividend level in China has a significant and positive relationship with the largest shareholder¡¯s and state ownership, while dividend level in Korea does not, and that dividend per share has a positive relationship with earning per share but without any relationship with cash ratio in China, while it has a positive relationship with cash ratio but without any relationship with earning per share in Korea.
